The tipping feature is new, it's exciting, it's awesome. I think we all agree.

But many of us creators want to return the favor, thank our tippers, give them something for free or send them a personalized thank you. That is easy to do if you have a handful tippers, but as time goes on and the list grows longer, that might not be quite that easy.

So for those of you who are not scared of working with data programs like Excel and Numbers, here is a tutorial that explains how you can get a clean list of all your tippers to create something like this:

And here is the tutorial in 3 parts!

Part 2

Part 3

And don't be too scared of the wall of text. If I can figure out how to get this to work, you can too.

Let me know if you give it a try, I am looking forward for feedback!Rat

But unless you are able to track the tip number for each tipper you won't know which new tips came in. That seems like an extreme amount of work - especially in a couple months when you might have hundreds of tippers to keep track of.

Hm, it definitely will be extra work without the names in the Balance list.

We're able to sort the tipper list by recent. That seems to be as much as we can currently get... Looks like the tips have been bundled together in the Balanced list as well so we can't play detective figuring out who tipped what. Hm....

@_@ oh goodness, right!? I'd really like to see the list refresh after a month or a week just to give everyone a new slate for a new month/week. We can track tips in the Balance sheet and use the tipper list on the app as a means to engage with tippers.

Agreed. At minimum it would be great if creators could see tips on their own comic(s) in the app. Currently you cannot access anything tip related on your own comic, but you can see who's tipping in other comics.

Please enable tipping transparency so authors don't have to sign up under fake accounts or trade screenshots with other creators.
